I grew up in Southern California and raced desert, enduro, and MX from 1975 through 1985. My first bike was a Hodaka Ace 100B I was mostly a Junior 125 class racer and enjoyed going with my friends to tracks like Indian Dunes, Saddleback Park, and Carlsbad Raceway. My biggest thrill was racing in the Amateur Supercross in the L. A. Colliseum in 1982. I continued my interest in dirt biking by riding Dual Sport events in the 90's. I now live in Michigan working for an automotive OEM as an engineering supervisor. I enjoy Michigan woods riding on my CRF250X with my son Jacob who rides a CRF150.
